MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 14, 2004 7:00 o'clock p.m. (15. #04 -3016 HENRY LAZNIARZ OF WAYZATA DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT, 120 BROWN ROAD SOUTH — PRD SUBDIVISION — PRELIMINARY PLAT continued) . development of backyard areas could be a potential issue so property owners would need to know for certain that no change in lot elevation would be permitted. Lili McMillan suggested there could also be a main floor s.f. limitation added with any approvals. She also asked how to address future building s.f. increases. Goodrum explained the PRD proposed plan shows the largest house pad of 4,000 s.f, but the actual house pads would be smaller. Mayor Peterson asked staff if there were any time constraints with decisions on the application, and if there were none, she recommended the City Council take the opportunity to do a site visit over the next couple of weeks. Lazniarz agreed to allow time for the City Council to visit the site prior to concluding discussion or deciding on the application. Moorse recommended the applicant re -do the design plan to show house pads with the 2000 s.f. footprint and what the setbacks would be, and if acceptable, the setbacks could be cited in the PRD documents. Lazniarz agreed to provide a plan showing the houses drawn to scale. Murphy reiterated that his issue remains the number of homes in a clustered space. Mayor Peterson stated she would agree that there are too many houses proposed if there would only be 10' side yard setbacks. McMillan moved, White seconded, to table Application #04 -3016 Henry Lazniarz/Wayzata • Design and Development, Preliminary Plat, Planned Residential Development (PRD), at 120 Brown Road S until the June 28, 2004 City Council meeting to allow the City Council the opportunity to conduct a site visit and to allow the applicant to prepare plans showing 2000 s.f. house pads and subsequent setbacks. Mayor Peterson confirmed the applicant agreed with the postponement until the City Council could do a site visit and the applicant could redo the plans to show 2000 s.f. house pads and setbacks. Lazniarz advised he was open- minded on the determination of outlot or a conservation easement over private property. McMillan, White and Mayor Peterson indicated they supported the outlot concept.
